Somer's Flowers

Hi there!

The card I have for you today is for last week's Potluck Friday challenge over at StampTV. My fellow Center Stage Spotlight Design Team member Deb Felts challenged us to create a soft and femine card. There was a special reason for this challenge, Deb lives in Florida near where Somer Thompson and her family live. This card will be sent to Deb and she is going to give all of the cards to Somer's Mom so that she will know how much people are thinking about her during this terrible time. If you would like to create a card and send it on, you can find the information in the challenge thread here.

I stamped the iris in Black Stazon ink onto Arches 140# cold press watercolor paper and used my Tombow markers to watercolor with. The image was cut/embossed with the Nestabilities Classic Octagon die. I turned it a bit and layered to a light pink octagon and then popped that up with a little foam tape to the print cardstock. Some lavender satin ribbon and clear gems (that I colored with Copic marker BV11 were added to finish off the card.

Stamps: Elegant Flowers (GKD)
Paper: purple (Bazzill), print (PTI), pink (Worldwin), Arches 14# watercolor paper
Ink: Stazon Black
Extras: Ribbon , Gems, Nesties, Copic BV11

P.S. Notice something new? I'll post more about the change later.

Hugs,
